The ManningCast welcomed a very special guest during Monday night’s broadcast, but it’s not who you think.
While, indeed, Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared as Peyton and Eli Manning’s first guest of the night, it was Schwarzenegger’s pet donkey Lulu who stole the spotlight before going to commercial.
To the Manning brothers’ shock and delight, Schwarzenegger started feeding Lulu during his segment out of nowhere, and it was the kind of golden live television that you just can’t plan for.
The look on the Mannings’ faces as Schwarzenegger got Lulu chowing down on some delicious donkey treat was just priceless.

We are very pro-animals appearing on the ManningCast, and we hope Lulu comes back for her own segment sometime down the road. The reactions from the Mannings are just too good to pass up alone.
Honestly, any dogs, cats, llamas, birds, turtles… we’ll take any cute animals you’ve got, really.
